All the other Barnet reissues are dubs of earlier LPs or 78s....except the old Victor Vintage series. They had 2 LPs of choice Barnet material. If someone wants the 2 I have for sale, it will cost you 12 bucks and I will pay the postage to anywhere in the USA. Each LP has 16 tracks on it. Want 'em? ...

I think a lot of marketing is generationally focused and generated. A lot of people who used to buy jazz, swing and big bands are now dead or not buying anything or have switched over to CDs. The people who work at the companies that control the material are oftimes younger and the old music is larg...

I agree....and for an example....look at the very insular people who revel in either Silent Cinema or....even more so.....to the popular music that predates the 1920s. They are a small, but avid group, but they are virtually invisible. If Ian Whitcombe were not here in town, there would be little pu...

I think subscriptions are the future, cheap and easy access to music on demand will narrow the gap between legal and pirated music. Thre have been subscription plans before by record producers who wanted cahs up front before they pressed limited edition LPs or CDs. I know this is a different type o...

As a longime former music and video retailer, all this is very sad news to me. While I can appreciate the 'ease' of shopping on line. I dont really like it. I went into a 'record' store the other day for the first time in ages. Canterbury in Pasadena...and it was so cool to see all this live stock i...

A lot of those arragements were done by Fletcher Hendersen, and they are incredible. You are right- the book itself is a part of the attraction for the Webb Orch. Are you sure about that?

Does anyone seriously think Chick Webb had a great band?
So asked a noted writer on the swing scene and swing music and such.
I replied, "Yes".
I will try and get him over here if he cares to continue the conversation.
